futuristic-ui VS svgbobrus

The futurist-ui repo also uses custom Component extensively as you can see in the demo on the complex animation of the Buttons, which involves advance functionalities of sauron such as triggering recurring updates to the component until a stop condition is met.

In this demo, you can click on the image to see the effects where the image is sliced0 and displayed at some interval. Further down below the demo page, you can click on Animate Paragraph to see that each letter of the paragraph is added one by one at a diminishing interval to see a typing effect1.

I recently had to draw some diagrams for documenting something. After looking at various Markdown-friendly options I landed on svgbob[1]. I believe it's a superior solution to these kinds of graph drawing tools for Markdown for one specific reason: the code is still readable. When I go to look at a Markdown file I don't always open the output. I will commonly open up a README file in Vim or just cat it to the terminal. In this case diagrams like those in this post is next to useless. I'm not going to read through some complex drawing definitions and try to visualise the results. With svgbob (or Typograms[2] or any of the other similar options) you can still read the Markdown text document and see the diagrams which is great!

Of course this comes with a tradeoff, drawing the diagrams can be a bit of a pain. But I believe this can be solved by a good Markdown editor or editor plugin. Alternatively a spec like this could be converted into an svgbob-compatible diagram.

Online playground svgbob-editor is also updated to use the latest version of svgbob. It is however a painfully slow to edit the diagrams from there, so it's better if you draw the diagram somwhere else and paste it to there.

There’s Svgbob. Plus when it comes to more complex diagrams or graphs where creating the ASCII art by hand in can be quite finicky, there’s a number of tools (including drawing tools) to make creating ASCII art much easier.

Since the post contains ASCII art, let me recommend you svgbob :)

The app can now render Svgbob code blocks (https://ivanceras.github.io/svgbob-editor).
